Parham was selected in the third round (90th overall) by the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2022 NFL draft.[13] He was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team.[14] On November 29, 2024, with 15 seconds left in a Week 13 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, he gave the signal to the center to snap the ball despite quarterback Aidan O'Connell not being ready. This resulted in a bad snap that was recovered by the Chiefs, losing the game for the Raiders.
